Happy Race Day!

Good morning from the land of.....SNOW! Yes, it is snowing here in Portland and must have been for some time as it has accumulated all over the place. Temps still report 34* as the current temp, so I'm going to stick with my plan for garb.

I didn't sleep the best last night but that is okay (I got 10 hours Friday night). I was up at 5:45 this a.m. and drifted in and out until about 7 - 45 minutes before my alarm. It is all good. It is 7:45 now and I have had my coffee, water and bagel and will get dressed before Jen and Zach arrive at 8:45ish.

I am really excited! I haven't done a real race in SO long (not counting the Turkey Trot) and I am pumped! I am sure the course is going to kind of suck (multiple out and backs) and there probably won't be too many spectators, but that is okay. There will be several familiar faces there at the end and I think a fun time will be had by all.

Goals For The Week (11/3/08)

3. Continue to wake up at the same time as last week (become a morning person?) (As of Wed I'm 3 outta 3) 11/9 update - this was really hard but I did manage to wake up relatively early... Once I really get into my running I am going to make an effort to wake up at 6 a.m. and get my runs done before work. There is really no reason not to. Especially since I will have guests and visitors over the next month that will require my time and attention.

4. Go to yoga (I'll say once, but go for twice) 11/9 update - I did go once, so this is DONE!
